Exciting News and a Chance to Win a Trip for Two to NYC!

May 9, 2013 By Christa 6 Comments

I am so excited to announce that I was selected to be a Spokesperson for Almay! Even more exciting is that the Almay Makeup Moments with Mom campaign is featuring the gorgeous Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson! I love these beautiful, fun, and inspiring women!

Now my mother has actually never worn makeup. Not even special occasions. Not only that but through most of her life she hasn’t even used skincare. More often than not you can’t even find a body lotion in her house. Frustrating when you are visiting and have something as simple as dry hands and need some relief! I really have no idea where my love/obsession with makeup and skincare came from. It was just part of my DNA. Now as a mother I can see my daughter being influenced by my passion for makeup. At 5 years old she has already found a young girl on YouTube who’s makeup tutorials she loves to watch. She even wants to do her OWN videos and heck even I don’t do videos! I’m not sure whether to be excited or terrified about this blossoming beauty aficionado. Right now I am looking forward to all the makeup secrets I can share with my daughter as she grows up and hopefully steer her clear of some of the mistakes I made along the way. Almay happens to be such a wonderful line for young girls since it is made for sensitive skin. Just maybe not 5 year old girls…

As part of the Almay “The Best Makeup Secrets I Learned From My Mom” campaign is an amazing contest to win a trip to NYC with Makeovers for Two! Check out the details below and make sure you enter. Who doesn’t want a trip to NYC?!

How to Enter:

From stealing your mother’s mascara to teaching your daughter how to apply eyeshadow, you share a lifetime of makeup moments with the most important women in your life. Upload a photo and tell us about your most memorable mother/daughter makeup moment for a chance to win a trip to NYC and makeovers for two! The Contest is open to legal residents of the 48 contiguous United States and the District of Columbia, age 18 or older at time of entry.

The Power Trio From Benefit Cosmetics Review and Giveaway ~ What a Difference a Few Small Steps Can Make!

May 7, 2013 By Christa 24 Comments

The Power Trio from Benefit Cosmetics. A mix of hydrating, concealing, and emphasizing product for the eye area that really take your eyes from dopey to dramatic.

It’s Potent Eye Cream ($39 CAD) – This eye cream contains a peptide complex known to help restore elasticity and firmness, a blend of hydrating botanical extracts including apple extract, known to help boost collagen, & loquat extract, known to help protect the skin from free radical damage. It fades dark circles and helps smooth fine lines for brighter and younger looking eyes. Sign me up! I haven’t used it long enough to speak to its long term benefits but so far I can tell you that it feels amazing and instantly hydrates and smooths out my eye area. It feel incredibly rich yet light at the same time and feels amazing right out of the fridge in the morning!

They’re Real Mascara ($29 CAD) – Lengthens, curls, separates, lifts, and volumizes. Check out my original review of They’re Real for more info on this incredible mascara. One of my current faves.

FakeUp Concealer ($29 CAD) – I have been using this concealer daily. I am totally smitten. Not only does this hydrating, crease-control concealer perform beautifully in the eye area as I detailed in my Fakeup Concealer review last month but I have also discovered it works great at concealing other areas of my face wear I experience redness and dry flaky skin from eczema. This wonderfully hydrating concealer has not only improved the condition of my undereye area through it’s regular use but has been a blessing for covering and soothing my dry patches without emphasizing the flaky skin.

Check out the before and after results of the Power Trio via the One Eye Challenge. We were presented with this challenge as part of the truly amazing Rest and Reveal event Benefit Cosmetics treated a lucky few of us to at the gorgeous Four Seasons Toronto Hotel Spa. I must admit these results aren’t as dramatic as they could be as even my naked eye looks far better than usual after the incredibly luxurious and pampering facial I received. The Spa at the Four Seasons is really beautiful and the whole experience of being there is very relaxing.

Now you have the chance to win this fantastic Power Trio from Benefit Cosmetics and reveal your new rested look. Just enter via the Rafflecoptor widget below! Open to Canadian residents only. Good luck!
